today i wasn't feel too well after eating something last night that made me sick. so i've been resting today and reading a book. well, early this afternoon, both my hands started hurting from holding the book up as i lay in bed. i have really bad tendonitis in each arm & hand and i guess the position aggravated it. it hasn't bothered me in such a long time that i forgot how painful it was. so i broke out my splints and wrapped each hand. later i decided i would go sit in the hot tub and let the heat relax the muscles and then i would stretch my hands. it was nice and relaxing out there by myself at dusk. a wren couple were flitting about chirping and chattering. as i was putting the hot tub lid back on i glanced over to the side and found this little gem.

now since it's kind of hard to type with my hands splinted, i'm gonna sign off.

My Zazzle store

artist statement

Creating is my key to another time. It unlocks the gate to my secret garden; my refuge. It takes me to another era where things were simpler and I find the process soothing to my soul. Lemoncholy’s Studio began with my fondness for vintage items. Searching flea markets, I find items long forgotten, sometimes damaged, but still purposeful. They just need some love and attention. I want these found objects to tell a new story, have meaning and to be inspiring. I have a vision for them to begin again. Intuitively I combine elements in an enchanting way to provoke a narrative response that alludes to something we seek without knowing it. Often, it is a reminder of our childhood. My jewelry is about craftsmanship and virtue but not perfection. By removing perfectionism, I free my imagination to play and ultimately, this freedom results in whimsical pieces of grace and beauty. I am a grown up Navy brat and moved every 2 years of life. This education in life has well prepared for the journey i have chosen for myself. I am the mother of 2 boys, Tucker and Dillon. We live here at the jersey shore in our own little bohemian corner of the world.
